So,I try to make the change on the mailing list you just added.

- * Add a dummy expect header to stop CURL from waiting for a response code

+ * Add an empty expect header to stop CURL from waiting for a response code
- curl->headers = curl_slist_append(curl->headers, "Expect: nothing");
+ curl->headers = curl_slist_append(curl->headers, "Expect:");
and I did the follow steps in my computer:

1../configure --with-esx

2.make

3.make install

4../autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr

5.make

6.make install

I complete installing the libvirt and run the command :virsh --version ,get the right answer 0.9.7

and I run the command :virsh -c esx://me@exampe.com/?tansport=http

the error before I mentioned related to http did disappeared ,but

and I still get a error like:error: internal error XPath evaluation of response for call to 'RetrieveServiceContent' failed
I don't understand what does this error mean,or is my steps wrong ?so I hope you can help me to figure out the promble. thanks a lot and so sorry for trouble you too much .waiting for you reply on line.

ps: I have another question about libvirt , I saw this :%if %{with_esx}%if 0%{?fedora} >= 9 || 0%{?rhel} >= 6 in /libvirt0.9.7/livirt.spec,I want to know if libvirt esx driver only can be useful on fedora>=9||rhel>=6,and the other OS like centos 6.0 or redhat ,will disable the use of esx driver of libvirt.

thanks again.

best regards!

HTTP error code 417 is related to the Expect header. The error
indicates that the server or a proxy in between doesn't handle the
Expect header. I assume that the ESXi sever itself is not the problem,
because it works for me here. Maybe there is a HTTP proxy between your
computer and the ESXi server that returns this 417 error code.

This problem is probably related to libvirt sending a dummy Expect
header instead of sending no Expect at all.

If you're building libvirt from source you can try this patch that I
just send to the mailing list for review

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-February/msg00860.html

It fixes the Expect header problem and might fix your connection problem.
